The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is carried out in a continuous vapor-phase reactor at 5.00 atm absolute.
The feed contains CO and H2 in stoichiometric proportion and enters the reactor at 25.0°C and 5.00 atm at a rate of 31.1 m3/h.
The product stream emerges from the reactor at 157°C.
The rate of heat transfer from the reactor is 24.0 kW.

Calculate the fractional conversion (0 to 1) of carbon monoxide achieved and the volumetric flow rate (m3/h) of the product stream.

f=_________

Vout=_________ m3/h

Methanol is synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a catalytic reactor. The fresh feed to the process contains 32.0 mol% CO, 64.0 mol% H2 and 4.00 mol% N2. This stream is mixed with a recycle stream in a ratio of 4.00 mol recycle / 1 mol fresh feed to produce the feed to the reactor, which contains 14.0 mol% N2. The reactor effluent goes to a condenser from which two streams emerge: a liquid product stream containing essentially all...

Methanol vapor is burned with excess air in a catalytic combustion chamber. Liquid methanol initially at 25 ◦C is vaporized at 1.1 atm and heated to 100 ◦C; the vapor is mixed with air that has been preheated to 1100 ◦C, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor at 100 ◦C and 1 atm. The reactor effluent emerges at 300 ◦Cand 1atm. Analysis of the product gas yields a dry-basis composition of 4.8% CO2, 14.3% O2, and 80.9%...

One process for the production of methanol is the catalytic reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The chemical reaction is given by: CO2  3H2  CH3OH  H2O It is desired to produce 1000 mol/hr of methanol. The single pass conversion of the reactor is 10% while the overall conversion is 80% (both in terms of hydrogen). Note, carbon dioxide in the fresh feed is in 20% excess and all of the product (methanol) and the byproduct (water) is...

A) The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas is described by the following chemical equation: CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) The equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 ∘Cis Kc=2.3×104. In this trial, you will use the equilibrium-constant expression to find the concentration of methanol at equilibrium, given the concentration of the reactants. Suppose that the molar concentrations for CO and H2 at equilibrium are [CO] = 0.04 M and [H2] = 0.04 M. Use the formula you found in Part...

Acetaldehyde is synthesized by the catalytic dehydrogenization of ethanol: C2H5OH ? CH3CHO + H2 Fresh feed (pure ethanol) is blended with a recycle stream (95 mole% ethanol and 5% acetaldehyde), and the combined stream is heated and vaporized, entering the reactor at 280?C. Gases leaving the reactor are cooled to -40?C to condense the acetaldehyde and un-reacted ethanol. Off-gas from the condenser is sent to a scrubber, where the uncondensed organic compounds are removed and hydrogen is recovered as a...

Benzaldehyde is produced from toluene in the catalytic reaction C6H5CH3 + O2 ? C6H5CHO + H2O Dry air and toluene vapor are mixed and fed to the reactor at 350.0°F and 1 atm. Air is supplied in 100.0% excess. Of the toluene fed to the reactor, 13.0% reacts to form benzaldehyde and 0.100% reacts with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O. The product gases leave the reactor at 379°F and 1 atm. Water is circulated through a jacket surrounding the...
